+Mechanics
+---------
+
+ 
+
+### NEW: BarCreate
+
+
+
+### NEW: BarSet
+
+
+
+### NEW: BarRemove
+
+
+
+### NEW: BlockWave
+
+ Creates a wave of blocks. This effect is client-side (there is no
+risk to your server). {{ :blockwave.gif?400 |}} 
+
+### NEW: BloodyScreen
+
+
+
+### NEW: Chain
+
+ This allows you to make skills that bounce between targets, like a
+"chain lightning" type skill.  BounceConditions are evaluated after
+each "bounce" of the skill. With the example, if someone were on the
+other side of a wall from the mob but you were standing in the doorway,
+it could bounce from you to them since it bounced around the wall 
+It will only bounce to the same entity per cast once. Also every time
+the skill bounces, the entity it is bouncing from will be the "origin"
+in the skill and the inherited target of onBounce will be the next
+entity it is bouncing to, so fromOrigin is your friend for making
+effects!  Example:
+
+1.  chain{
+
+<!-- -->
+
+        bounces=5;
+        bounceRadius=10;
+        bounceDelay=1;
+        hitSelf=false;
+        hitPlayers=true;
+        hitNonPlayers=true;
+        hitTarget=true;
+        onBounce=[
+          - effect:particleline{p=flame;fromOrigin=true}
+        ];
+        bounceConditions=[
+          - inlineofsight
